GLOVE.

Application filed February 13, 1822. Serial No. 538,153.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, lVILLIAIli E, HAsnL- TINE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of liipon, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Gloves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements ih gloves and consists of the matters hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

The object of the invention is to provide a glove having a leather hand part, and a gauntlet part of soft, flexible knitted material,-the gauntlet part being so fashioned and dimensioned and of such elasticity that it may be drawn up over the bare arm or over the coat sleeve, to closely hug and cling to either in like manner; or it may be rolled back upon itself to form a cuff which will snugly fit the wrist and will fill and close up the end of the coat sleeve, thereby pre venting the entrance of cold air, snow and the like between the wrist and coat sleeve.

This object of the invention, together with others, as well as the many advantages of the invention, will more fully appear as I proceed with my specification.

In the drawings z- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im proved glove with its gauntlet part folded over upon itself, and tucked into and closing the end of a coat s.ecve, to prevent snow and wind from blowing up into the coat sleeve;

Figure 2 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Figure 3 is another perspective view of my improved glove showing the gauntlet part extended and pulled over the end of the coat sleeve to enclose and snugly hold the same about the wrist;

Figure 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 44: of Fig. 3;

Figure 5 is a view in elevation showing the knitted tubular member providing the gauntlet part of my improved glove;

Figure 6 is a cross section of the tube shown in Fig, 5;

Figure 7 shows the knitted tubular inemher when one end is turned into the other end to form the double thickness gauntlet part of my improved glove;

ure 8? a cross section of the gauntlet, forming tube, when folded upon itself as in Fig. 2', the plane of the section being indied by the line 88 of said Fig. 7. Referring now in detail to that ombodi ment of the inventi '1 illustrated in the acconipz-inyag drawin s, my improved glove includes a hand part i and a gauntlet part I 'ihe hand part 10 of my improved glove )1 Fade of a ible leather nd p ended with the fingers 12, here blv being a fl ece or other lin- 31113 1- l V t 1 said hand part o make the same warm and comfortable, (s e Figs. 2 and i). E'iecured to the wrist end of the hand part is the gauntlet part ll a length substantially equalling that of the hand part, preferably made of a kniited woolen material, such as a lieecy or Angora yarn, the color thereof being immaterial. The gauntlet part is primarily made as a single thickness tube i l (see Fig. which is fashioned, and more closely wow-"i in the knitting thereof, to reduce or restrict the width or diameter of both of its ends as at 15. One half of the tube is turned into the other half of the tube, until both ends coincide as shown in Fig. 7, thus proi 'iding a finished gauntlet part 11 of double thickness, which is now ready to be attached to the wrist end of the hand partll) of the glove.

The coinciding ends of the gauntlet partare inserted into the open wrist end of the hand part, and are then secured thereto by a line of stitching 16 which also passes through the lining 13, the lining also acting as a binding for the ends of the gauntlet part. This produces the finished glove.

The glove may be worn in either of the following ma incrs: er the glove is upon the hand of wearer, the gauntlet part 11 may be rolled back upon itself toward the hand part ll), to form a thick, soft, wooly cuff which completely tills the space between the wrist of the wearer, and the coat sleeve 1?, in a manner preventing snow and wind from lizlowingjg up the coat sleeve. When worn in this manner, the glove is not only warm and comfortable. but is neat and dressy in appearance.

Should it he desired to use the glove in motoring or in winter sports, such as skating. skiing or tob U ,aning, the gauntlet part 11 may be fully extended and pulled over the ill coat sleeve 17, in the form of a gauntlet, as shown in Fig. 3. The elasticity of the knitted material will make it cling tightly to the coat sleeve so that it cannot accidentally slip down, yet at the same time perfect freedom of motion 01'? the arms is permitted. Thus should the wearer tall or be thrown, no snow could be forced up the coat sleeve to add to his or her discomfort.

By fashioning the gauntlet part in the tubular form before-mentioned, the gauntlet part is not stretched out of shape in use nor is it necessary to gather the knitted tube when stitching it to the hand part. This fashioning also causes the gauntlet part to snugly fit the wrist of the wearer and makes a stronger attachment between the hand and gauntlet parts, for the stitching 16, because of its closer weave. Furthermore, the shape or form of the glove at the wrist adjacent the hand part is maintained in ncatness, so that it cannot become stretched out of shape by wear.

It is apparent that my improved glove is not only advantageous for adults in motoring, athletics and other outdoor uses in winter-time, but it is also of especial advantage for children who play in the snow, as snow cannot enter up the coat sleeve to chap the wrists, nor can the glove come off the hand so easily as to be lost by the child wearing the same.

Instead of being drawn up over the coat sleeve, the gauntlet part of the glove may with equal facility be drawn up over the bare arm, to which it will cling the same as to the coat sleeve as heretofore desc'ribed,this being made possible because of the fashioning of the gauntlet as described and the clasticity of the material from which it is made.

While in describing my invention I have referred to the hand part 10 as having the fingers 12, it is apparent that said hand part may be in the form ofa mitten. without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it is to be understood that the word glove is used with the broad significance to include any form of glove or mitten.

I claim as my invention A glove comprising a hand part of leather and an elongated gauntlet part of knitted, flexible, elastic woolen material stitched to the wrist end of said hand part, said gauntlet part coniiprising a tube of double the length of the gauntlet part fashioned in knitting to provide distinctly narrow ends and a wider part intermediate said ends, said tube being turned upon itself to bring the narrow ends to coincide, thus providing a double thickness tube tor the-gauntlet, with a narrow wrist part and a wider part above the wrist.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, 1 aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses, this 9th day of February, A. D. 1922.
